You Might Be A Racer If..


You think the primary purpose of wings is to PREVENT flight.

You feel compelled on a road trip to beat your previous best time.

You are happiest when your street car's tires are worn to racing depth (wear bars showing)

When something falls off of your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved.

You change engine oil every other week

Your email address refers to your race car rather than to you.

You've paid $4.50 a gallon for gas without complaining.

You buy new parts because you don't know where you put the spares.

You bought a race car before buying a house.

You bought a race car before buying furniture for the new house.

You're looking for a tow vehicle and still haven't bought furniture!

You look at the purchase of tools as a long term investment.

Your garage holds more cars than your house has bedrooms.

You have enough spare parts to build another car.

More than one racer supply house recognizes your voice and greets you by name when you call.

You think the last line of the Star Spangled Banner is: "Racers, start your engines!"

If you can't remember when you last worked on weekdays and rested on weekends.

You're registered for wedding gifts at Summit and Jegs.

People know you by your car not your name.

You plan your wedding around the race schedule

You astound the clerk at Sears by bringing in a snapped breaker bar every other week or so.

You remember the dates and details of every race you've ever been in, but can't remember your wife's birthday.

You hate long distance driving, but you will gladly drive 800 miles to the race track.

You think that traction control and ABS are for those who can't drive.

You save broken car parts as "mementos".

You've found your lawn mower runs pretty good on 108 octane gas (but doesn't particularly care for alcohol).

Instead of pictures in your wallet, you have timeslips

You would choose a roll bar over air conditioning if it were an option.

You consider the redline a "conservative suggestion"

You regularly test your rev limiter

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao

Those are me.
I just took a bar back to sears today after buying another yesterday.
I have lots of broken parts (that I broke) that I keep to remember things...
